Healing brings more vitality, clarity and ease to ours lives.
The healing work that I offer is informed by studies and formal training in somatic coaching, gestalt and other integrative psychologies, bodywork, subtle energetics, as well as indigenous and other wisdom traditions. This work is done with individuals, partners, and groups, both in-person and through online video platforms.
"Rako is uniquely intuitive and provides a safe and sacred space for healing. His insight and experience guided the process of increasing my awareness to the needs of my body, guiding me in the discovery of both physical and emotional barriers that limited my healing from former injury, and unveiling a medical ailment I was unaware of at the time. My experience with Rako empowered me to address issues I would have otherwise overlooked or ignored. Since my session with him, I have felt connected and open to a path of self-care, healing and overall better health and wellness. I look forward to the next session and opportunity to explore more work with him." -S.H.
"Rako's presence and caring heart are powerful medicine. I experience him as highly insightful and skillful in supporting intergenerational healing. He offers embodied wisdom that is deeply rooted in his own healing journey. Rako radiates a loving, calm, kind and grounded energy which is fertile soil to fully receive those called to development. His gentle, yet precise, reaching out to blockages in the ancestor's line opens vast possibilities in the present and future. He weaves indigenous wisdom, a deep care for humanity and the environment and a brilliant mind in service of evolution. I have deep respect and gratitude for what Rako continues to bring into the world." -R.B.
Indigenous medicine: old roots, new sap.
Divination is often disruptive, potent, and nourishing all at once for most people, and especially those who have had little exposure to it. The disruption comes from the relevance and specificity of the insights that come from the subtle realm of ancestors and spirits.
Rako is a rare breed of medicine person: humble, embodied, and deeply connected with the unseen realms. His connection with the spirits offered me profound insight into areas of my personal development and spiritual edge that few could have known and for that, I am deeply grateful. He provided nu nuanced illumination exactly where I needed it, and his seeing helped me clean up some key areas of my life.

"Rako's healing capacity is profound." - E.G.
"Rako's insight, compassionate encouragement and powerful energetic presence created a safe space for me to feel vulnerable and yet supported in sharing my challenges and fears - and when combined with his expert application of subtle energetic modalities, created one of the most emotionally cathartic healing sessions of my life. I experienced a powerful shift which compelled me to take immediate and profound action to improving my life.." -N.L.
"Rako is someone I trust and come to for healing and guidance without hesitation. His compassion, intuition and natural ability to heal have impacted me in profound ways. Rako has helped me to connect with my emotions and identify where they are held in my body. He has also helped me to gain understanding and insight about some of my life’s past events that I cannot change and future events I am unable to predict. This clarity has significantly reduced unnecessary worries, doubts, and most importantly, fears." -S.F
"My session with Rako was amazing and unlike anything I've ever experienced. I was profoundly transformed in many ways; I felt emotionally detoxed, relaxed but energetic, happy, open and clear. I view my time with Rako as a sacred gift." -J.M
"I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis last year and had to have wheelchair assistance at all airports and those who know me know how much I travel. This Monday's turnaround trip to Chicago was the first time in about 10 months that I didn't use wheelchair assistance, even though I had requested it 'just in case.' I owe it all to Rako Fabionar! I can't tell you the deep healing I experienced with him - soul/ancestral healing - I wailed. I've been to see him two more times, each with a different "feel" in my body. He is truly gifted. I'm so thankful for his healing hands. No surgery for me, thank you. I'll stick with Rako!" -M.B.

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN MY STORY BEGAN. My body remembers brown women from a long time ago, up to their waists in water, softly moving to the rhythm of the ocean. My body also remembers leather faced, towheaded men, equidistant from mountain and sea, preparing the kill so the kin could eat. All of these nameless ancestors knew the elementals, spirit plants and animals, and celestials – some intimately. These beings were offered song and food and blood and shells. All of this my body remembers. I believe this is where I was first dreamed into being. First grade was a significant year in my life. I pester my parents to take me to learn how to meditate – I watch them as they sit and I want to learn. They relent and I bring offerings of flowers, fruit, and one of my precious silver dollars to my godfather who then initiates me. Later, when walking to and back from school, I gently float my new mantra throughout my being. Shortly after this initiation, I am reciting a Christmas poem at the Daguhoy Hall, a Filipino boarding house and community center in downtown Stockton, CA. The Daguhoy Hall is affiliated with the Legionarios del Trabajo, a fraternal organization with roots in the southern islands of the Philippines, and it provides a much needed space for migrant farmworkers, laborers, and Filipino families to come together. It’s Christmas Eve, and my grandmother and another community elder stand behind me encouraging me to speak. Children are expected to perform. I am in front of a microphone looking out at over a hundred people situated about the perimeter of the room. I forgot the copy of my poem in the car, but I am lucky that I have it memorized. This performance is formative for me: The community listens closely, cheers, and throws money. It is here that I learn the importance of lineage, story, and the sacred movement of community. All of this is valued. It is, of course, the migrant farm working elders, the poor bachelors who live above the hall and save their coins in glass jars, who throw the most money. Always. During my childhood I spend many days and nights at the Daguhoy Hall. I attend political meetings, dances, holidays, celebrations, and funeral receptions. Many funerals. Death is sad and scary, but it exists amidst times of dance, celebration, and sacred community. Death is part of the rhythm of living. My body knows this. Something is always dying and something is always being birthed, all at once. I am told that I come from a lineage of organizers, storytellers, educators, and healers. As I grow older the change agent, educator, poet, mystic, and healer in me finally agree to align and mutually amplify each other. Perhaps they tire of the subtle and not-so-subtle violence of modern day compartmentalization. Perhaps they act out of due respect for my lived experience as I am now in my forties. Or perhaps this move has little to do with me at all and more with what is being called forth by our current existential crises. I am at once big and powerful as well as tiny and fragile. Perhaps it is my soul in conversation with the cosmos that aligns all these dimensions of who I am because it is time for bold, heart-felt, collective experiments. Perhaps all of this is what will enable me to become a venerable ancestor someday. I believe so – my body remembers this, too. |
"Rako is both dynamic and loving as well as still and spacious. His presence fills a room and allows a sense of safety and warmth to de-armor even the strongest defenses. His curious and intuitive listening evokes wisdom from the soul individually and the collective intelligence in groups. He was born to bring medicine to this world and effortlessly weaves knowledge of systems and integrative philosophy with poetry, intuition and healing energy. A rare gem in this world." |

Rako is a deep breath. A pause. A profound silence. A deep-belly, make-your-eyes-water laugh. A connection to spirit and nature and the cosmos and life itself. Divination with Rako is sacred and significant—so is his presence. A presence that not-so-subtly reminds those within it that the sacred and significant is ever-present. And as spirit embodied in human form, Rako is a gentle giant of a guide here to remind us (when we forget to remember) that we are all divine. A.S.
